Been in Pico de Loro, Batangas last 2 days. Ave. consumption of 7.5km/liter. Hataw mode and traffic in Tagaytay pabalik. Got my unit last 1st week of May but till now wala pang plate. Talaga bang matagal ang plate release ngayon?
345k pesos difference na. And the price of the Ecoboost will definitely increase in the coming months according to 2 SAs of Ford Quezon Avenue and EDSA, while the V6 will be as it is. Dadami na raw allocation dito by January, pag sara ng assembly plant sa Santa Rosa. And Ford is planning to bring the V6 Ecoboost here daw.

regular plate lang, i don't like special plate kasi dahil you have to pay more and selling the car can be a disadvantage when you have a special plate.
basta yung features same sa limited sigurado it will sell well, pero kung bare katulad ng ecoboost ngayon mag flop din yan.
Guys, how do you operate your Explorer's aircon? Kasi ang alam ko you don't have to switch off the aircon when turning off the engine parang noong dinemo ko. But I always do it the traditional way, switch off aircon then turn off engine and vice versa. Ang naiinis lang ako is... whenever I switch on the A/C, palaging naka-off yung air recirculation button (yan ba tawag dun), ang hassle kasi I have to push that button to turn it on. Tsaka yung temperature, palaging naka-auto mode. Hindi ba pwede kung ano yung last setting mo, e yan din yung same setting in the future?
In general, ang nakagawian ko is to shut-off the aircon compressor about 500mtrs from my final point of destination & just let the blower run. Then before shutting of the engine, i will turn off the blower. For explo, i just switch off the ac then off-the engine. So when i turn on again the engine, only the blower will auto start to run, then after engine sa stabilize, will i turn on the AC, followed by the internal circulation, then dual switch on, in that order.
just leave the a/c on when you turn off the engine para pag on ganon pa din ang setting. btw sino na nag pa projector dito kay garyq?
*boracay7777: mag 45-60 days ang sea freight. Check out autoanything.com, autoaccessriesgarage.com or amazon.com.
*eqaddict: congrats bro! Anong built date ng unit mo? Mine is May 2012. I checked online and my version is still 3.02. That means kailangan ma update unit ok. Bakit kaya wala pang tawau ang dealer ok.....hmmmm....
I know how you feel! Ung una ganyan din. first ride fill up was P2500. A few days later P2500 again haha! Gamit ko na lang for long drives ang EX para mas sulit. Then, when in the city, back to 4-cylinder X-trail (which hindi rin ganoon ka tipid).
And oh, prices of fuel are expected to go up next week. Heard through the grapevine: diesel up by P.30 while gasoline up by P.40-P.50. So enjoy na while gas is still cheaper this week!
Is the 4km/l for the 3.5 engine? and the 7km/l for the ecoboost version?
Yan din complaint ko (re: left side mirror) when I got my unit. So what I do is use the small mirror at the upper left corner coz diyan tayo sanay. That kind of magnification is also used in my brother's 2nd gen Tucson's left side mirror.
So if we're going to have our MFT upgraded sa casa, ano yung ma-a-upgrade... yung S/W version or Sync version lang or both?
